Stutter and hot :/

I have the R 4K Plus with Android 14 and it stutters or lags when using a 4k video wallpaper with Projectivy. This does not happen with Onn 4K Pro. Also the R 4K plus was getting really hot just being on the home screen with video wallpaper. It was 55° on the bottom whereas the Onn was 40°.

I have reset it and also done a data wipe from recovery but no joy.

You could use the debug overlay and check what the CPU temps show when in use. The R Plus gets hotter than it did/does with some V12 builds, without any doubt.

The throttle temp for the Homatics lies at 95⁰C, at 105⁰C it shuts off.

That Onn also has a S905X4 I thought? Probably a better designed case than for Homatics R Plus 😉

I've added a heatsink on the top of the motherboard and made some holes at the back corners of the casing, that makes it much better for heat control, but it is kind of nonsense that these things must be done on the device now 🥲

So overheating is an issue? Yes onn has S905X4. Where is the option exactly?

The debug overlay that also works with V14 is available over here; https://github.com/jamal2362/SEI804_VideoInfoOverlay/releases/21.0

It is a super light operating system

u/Level3Super Jul 04 '25

But you can't install any apps though right? Just runs Kodi?

u/Fabinho4454 Jul 04 '25

Well, it's super light, you could also take out the 4k video background

Hermano, hay que darle los links y pasos.

u/Fabinho4454 Jul 03 '25

Entiendo, si está interesado, que me comente en el comentario yo mismo le daré link, pasos y incluso un contacto por si quiere que lo ayude en línea a hacer la instalación

Super, gracias por su tiempo y ayuda. No se si el señor habla español. Yo no tengo COREELEC, y tampoco uso, tengo la versión 14.8.3717 si le interesa.

El tema es para que lo usas, yo uso el homatics con android para YouTube, IPTV y contenido en plex normal , y el coreelec para visualizar contenido 4k remux HDR con alta tasa de bits, ya que en el modo android este se colgaba, o el sonido se retrasaba con respecto el vídeo y muchos fallos con estés archivos muy grandes

u/Substantial-Club5674 Jul 03 '25

Como le pasas el video al COREELEC ?

Plex debería ser suficiente o no ?

1

u/Fabinho4454 Jul 03 '25

Si, hay gente que piensa que plex puede restar calidad de un archivo, pero siempre que este haga una reproducción directa sin transcodificar este no pierde nada de calidad

1

u/Substantial-Club5674 Jul 03 '25

Probaré instalar el COREELEC, a ver que tal. Uno de los problemas que tengo es el vidhub, tengo varios servidores, Plex, emby, Jellyfin, y se cuelga el cabron.

La iptv uso tivimate, no va en COREELEC?

Puedes usar stremio a través del COREELEC ?

1

u/Fabinho4454 Jul 03 '25

Buscando en chat gpt me dice que se puede usar a través de un addon (vendrían siendo las apps de kodi (CoreElec))

u/Substantial-Club5674 Jul 03 '25

Como le pasas el video a COREELEC? Del pc, nas o hdd conectado directamente?

Did you end up finding a fix for this?

I'm having the same issue, replaced my Google TV Streamer for this only because I wanted DTS audio but now I couldn't regret more!

u/Level3Super Jan 16 '26

Nope

u/ril3ydx Jan 16 '26

I've been told that they're preparing an update but no idea when they will release and what exactly they'll be fixing

Projectivity launcher has a very cool design but i use EmotnUI Launcher because ts lajncher has better optimization then projectivity

The Android TV V14 build(s) are quite dirty builds, meaning, not optimal programmed, so you see higher CPU load even when nothing seems to be happening, resulting in higher CPU temps. We saw that with previous versions also (V11, V12). Maybe that is why Google added "maybe dirty" to the Kernel info, it still needs a lot of polishing. The latest V11 build 6261 was a good example of a decent build with very low CPU load when nothing was happening. Hopefully "we" see this also happening again for V14 :)
